I'm trying to setup wired port security using PEAP. I have setup a MS CA but
am now confused about how to get a certificate on the server running IAS.
From the IAS server I used the web form to request a certificate and then
installed it from that form as well (through the browser). However, when I
try to enable PEAP within the Remote Access Policy I'm told that a
certificate can't be found that can be used with EAP.

When requesting the cert I did speicfiy a server authenication certificate.
Obvously, I'm missing something. Any help is much appreciated.

I should add that I'm using Windows 2000 for both the CA and IAS.

Hi Allen

Certificates for IAS with PEAP needs some special requirements.
You can search on MS Site for theese requirements. Use IAS, certificates,
PEAP, wireless keywords.

Hi Allen --

Certificates that do not meet the minimum cert requirements won't appear in
the IAS console for selection for use with PEAP.

The cert must have the Server Authentication purpose in Enhanced Key Usage
extensions, and must meet other requirements that are described in the Help
topic "Network access authentication and certificates" in Windows Server
2003 IAS or VPN Help, or on the web at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...03/library/Serv
erHelp/9d8b61c9-a870-4627-a8f2-148625fd7fba.mspx.

You should probably also refer to the following whitepaper, which is
written for Windows Server 2003 and W2K.:


"Deployment of IEEE 802.1X for Wired Networks Using Microsoft Windows"

So, according to the first link, I need to create a certificate template? Is
there anyway to create a certificate template when the CA is stand alone?

I haven't deployed a standalone CA myself -- but I assume that all you need
to do is open the Certificate Templates snap-in, select the template that
you want to duplicate, and then modify the duplicated template as per your
requirements. You might need to read documentation on Certificate Services
to get this done correctly. If that is the case you can use documentation
on the Web site "Public Key Infrastructure for Windows Server 2003" at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsser...i/default.mspx.

Don't forget, too, that in order for your solution to work, client
computers connecting to your network must trust the CA that issued the
server certificate to your IAS server.

In literal terms, this means that your CA's certificate must be in the
Trusted Root certification Authorities store on the client computers.

Your best bet is to read the wired whitepaper, it probably explains all of
this (including how to deploy it) in good detail.
